[gaim-migrate @ 4202] "Sorry, but in my last direct IM patch (633589), I broke receiving typing notifications. Here is the one line patch that fixes it back the way it should be. Basically, the if(flags == 0x000c) should have been if(flags & 0x000c) At the moment, receiving typing notifications is broken in gaim since this is in a block under if(flags & 0x0002) so, the == 0x000c will never be true.

Notes on keeping GAIM OS independant
------------------------------------

General
-------
- Use G_DIR_SEPARATOR_S and G_DIR_SEPARATOR for paths

- Use g_getenv, g_snprintf, g_vsnprintf

- Use gaim_home_dir instead of g_get_home_dir or g_getenv("HOME")

- Make sure when including win32dep.h that it is the last header to
  be included.

PLUGINS & PROTOS
----------------

- G_MODULE_EXPORT all functions which are to be accessed from outside the
  scope of its "dll" or "so". (E.G. gaim_plugin_init)

- G_MODULE_IMPORT all global variables which are located outside your
  dynamic library. (E.G. connections)

  (Not doing this will cause "Memory Access Violations" in Win32)
